Topic: More.... Stupid is as stupid does (Read 2074 times)

Chicago has stubbornly tried every scheme and legal ploy to keep its citizens disarmed against a series of legal actions and in conflict with what the firearms community considers common sense. Meanwhile, in Seattle over the weekend, police shot a charging pit bull in a Lake City incident, according to the Seattle Times.

Forty-one other Chicago residents were wounded over the weekend when most of America was celebrating fatherhood. Anti-gun Mayor Rahm Emanuel seems clueless and powerless to stop the violence and the city’s only strategy seems to be perpetuation of a philosophy of disarmament that has not worked, and has essentially been ruled unconstitutional by the courts.

This problem is like fireworks in Michigan. For years and years anything that left the ground or goes bang has been illegal in Michigan. Did that stop people from breaking the law? No way, they drove to Ohio en mass to buy all the fireworks they wanted and returned to Michigan to break the law. Until you deal with the other sources of illegal material (Ohio in this case), you’ll have a problem. Not everybody is as law abiding as Moots likes to paint. :laugh:

So you think Ohio should stop selling fireworks because the libs in Michigan think their people are not responsible enough to use them. :?

Yes, that is what BlueBee thinks. Under Code Napoleon, (the Roman common law in effect in Mexico) it is legal for an 18 year old to drink. It is also generally not against the law to evade the traffic police by taking refuge on private property.

So using BlueBee's senseless dis-logic, it is fine for a 19 year old illegal from Mexico now living in Michigan to get liquored up in Ohio and then drive through a school zone during recess at 120 MPH. That is as long as he only wrecks his car on private property and kills no one but himself. Blue, aren't you glad that you got that cleared that up?

You better gather and dry a passel of those 17 year Locus BlueBee. In fact you should dry a 17 year supply because they will come in mighty handy to munch on once Obama and Michelle turn the fields of amber grain into another Detroit, Michigan.

Blue, watch my lips. Mexico's legal drinking age is 18. So using Obama fuzzy logic it is unfair that an 18 year old Mexican national who entered the US illegally can't get liquored up in Michigan like he can in Mexico. What's fair about that? Using Leftist Logic the answer is nothing. "We are the world don't you know?"

Now under Earl Obama children who have reached the age of majority (18) may stay on their parents health insurance policy until age 26. But the same child is eligible to vote at age 18. What's up with that? The same child can join the armed forces at age 18 and be trained to operate a 155MM artillery piece, a tank, or possess a government issued fully automatic M16, M4, or .50 M2 Browning machine gun. But if he or she wishes to by an AR 15 semi automatic rifle they must wait till age 21. But thanks to our President and AG we now have the best armed drug gangs on our Southern border that tax money can fund.

Why is Cocaine a problem in Chicago? I would say too many people just have nothing to do! I can’t even imagine having the time to do drugs even if I wanted to. Idle hands are the devil’s workshop. They need more work; Obama is working on that. Cocaine is not legal in Ohio, but as long as there is a supply (and idle people) it will be a problem.

Underage drinking isn’t going to stop because of some laws just as murder doesn’t stop because of some laws. However do you want 12 year olds passed out all over the school yard because suddenly we vaporize all drinking laws and people go nuts? That doesn’t make sense. If laws didn’t have some measure of control over people and populations, they wouldn’t exist in the first place!

Kingbee I agree with the paradox you lay out. I thought the same thing when I signed up for selective service. 18 and you can die for the country in war, but you can’t have a beer. :(

Have you ever been to Germany? Your 5 year old can sit in a bar and have a beer with you. There's no age limit there. You don't see 12 year olds passed out on the school yard, or any where else. It's no big deal to have your first drink over there, since it is a normal thing from birth on. If the age limits were done away with, most kids would lose the taste for it quickly and a lot of our teen drinking problems would go away.

Sure beats what I had to do to get a beer in college. :evil: Opps, don’t tell Moots I broke the law. :lau:

I can assure you that if it were legal for a bunch of college kids in Michigan to drink beer, there would be massive beer parties every weekend. At least with the drinking age of 21 law, the kids like Moots didn’t drink our beers. :-D :cheer:
